Give PNC a chance to prove its worth-Akobila

THE People’s National Convention (PNC), parliamentary candidate for Okaikoi North, Ms Victoria Akobila has urged Ghanaians to give the PNC a chance to roll out its development agenda for the country and her constituency.
She promised that when voted into Parliament she would not renege on her promise.
“Throughout my campaigns the messages I keep getting is how disappointed the electorate are at MPs who represented them at separate periods under the NDC and the NPP,” she told the Daily Graphic.
She said, over the years, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at different periods had had the opportunity to serve the people but had failed to deliver.
Therefore, in her resolve to win the seat she had embarked on a house-to-house campaign to sell her message to the electorate.
Although, she is a new entrant on the political arena, her hopes of winning the seat for her party stems from the reception she continues to enjoy throughout her campaign tour of some parts of the constituency, she states.
Ms Akobila had so far taken her campaign to areas including Anumle, Nii Boi Town, Abofu and Christian Village.
According to her, she was making the issue of sanitation one of her major campaign messages.
Describing the constituency as one of the difficult areas for the PNC, she said one of the major concerns that kept coming up during her campaign tours was the filth that had engulfed some parts of the constituency.
She explained for instance that at Free Pipe, around Abeka Lapaz, there were no public places of convenience for residents, and that had compelled them to ease themselves in open gutters.
Under her tenure, she said, she would set an example by organising regular clean up exercises.
She also promised market women in the constituency of a scheme where they would be mobilised to secure loans from financial institutions to boost their businesses.
Ms Akobila called on her counterparts contesting on the ticket of other political parties in the constituency to make their campaigns issue-based devoid of rancour and mudslinging in order to promote unity among their supporters.
